Weightlifting (machines) during SBRT?

[Worked_the_World]

(duplicate post)

I am starting my five SBRT sessions tomorrow, April 29, 2024. I was not supposed to lift over ten pounds between my MRI/CT scan to locate my fiducials and my SBRT.

I miss my workouts. Can I return to the gym with workouts on machines that isolate my muscle groups and avoid stress on my prostate/cancer beast?

I completed my SBRT last month. Last treatment was on 03/30. I had severe side effects after 8 days. Its triggers my sodium level low and extreme fatigue.

Also if you are taking SBRT on spine, You may have see inflations near food pipe and that's also reduce your intake and even water. I had magical mouth washer.

After 1-2 weeks the fiducials are set in position and won't move. I did heavy cardio and heavy weights (2-3 hrs in gym) throughout my SBRT.

Like TA, I spent 2 hrs in the gym 6 days per week (cardio and heavy weights) throughout my SBRT 4 years ago. I really missed not going to the gym after my RA 6 years ago and it took me forever to recover (I wish I would have started cardio earlier than I did).

my husband continued his workouts (weight work at health club and biking for cardio) throughout SBRT. It maintained his muscle strength, oxygenated his body, and kept him fully focused on his wellbeing rather than his disease.
